You are advised against the applying for Hainan VOA since this VOA appears to be on the exit door. In reality, it still nominally exists and there are reports that people from time to time successfully obtain one. In reality, it is not the problem with Chinese authorities when you arrive in Hainan. They will definitely grant you a VOA, but the problem is in the countries from where you will depart to Hainan. Here, right on this website, we had a report, roughly 40 days ago when the Singaporean authorities have denied to 3 UK citizens their flight from Singapore to Hainan because they didn't have that invitation that goes along with Hainan 30 day visa free access. In reality, you will never be certain that an airline will allow you a boarding because they are also started to favor, for them very safe option, to allow boarding to the passengers traveling on 30 day visa free access. As I say, you can try and probably you will be successful, but my suggestion is just exchange three simple emails and take a simple airport transfer and you will be able to travel with absolute peace of mind. In the end, now when you know, decisions has to be all yours. By the way, the price for Hainan VOA for Slovak citizens is 168 CNY. All you need is your passport and preferably an accommodation confirmation for your first overnight and a passport size photo.
